Poll: Best Action Movie With No Sequels?
When an action movie comes out, if it's a hit (and often even if it isn't), sequels are almost guaranteed to follow. However, there are occasionally exceptions. I've gathered together some examples from the early days to some pretty modern examples that, strangely, never turned into series.
Quite simply, which one do you think is the best stand-alone action movie?

The Fugitive (1993)
Technically, there is a sequel to The Fugitive, called U.S. Marshals (1998). Even if you think of it more as a spin-off, it still features a returning character and, therefore, this movie doesn't exactly count. -
